Why Amazon Web Services’ VP Uses AI to Put People First

Season 10 Episode 25

Guest: Dave Levy, Vice President of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS)

AI is all the buzz – but how do you lead your team through all the noise to find what works for you?

Dave Levy clears the noise in this episode. By helping governments discern the best AI tools to serve their communities, he sees the qualities any leader needs to look for…and security is right at the top of the list. So is education, including growing the talent pool to meet demand!

Here’s what Dave and Maureen cover:

1. Why “inventing” your own AI apps can be better in the long run than using a popular off-the-shelf system;
2. Why Amazon is willing to invest heavily in free AI and IT training and education programs for the public; and
3. The importance of having at least one leader on your board or in your C-suite who knows enough to safely spearhead your AI (and tech) efforts.
